Our
Mission Statement:

To
Help Give Your Company"
An Excellent Reputation for Custom Moulding"

So
what does this statement mean? How do we go about trying
to achieve this goal? At Template Services we believe
an excellent reputation is made up of several critical
components. They start out with "Communication"
and end with "Delivery". Precision moulding
knives and tooling is a good step to start with, but
there is more to it than that. Well if you have a couple
minutes please read a little more in depth into our
business philosophy. In order to achieve an excellent
reputation, there are a series of hurdles that must
be surpassed.

Communication

The
first step in any business deal is the conversation
between the client and the vendor. At Template Services
we believe our biggest asset is our one on one tooling
consultations. By talking to the same moulder tooling
technician every time you call, a personal relationship
can be built with your company. A client doesn't have
to re-explain his project or machinery to a new salesman
each time he calls to order moulding knives. Andrew
(owner) actually ran Weinig moulders for over 10 years
and has 23 years industry experience. We are more
than happy to talk about machining issues your having
such as: tear-out, chatter, fuzzing, and help troubleshoot
for proper moulder and shaper cutter set-up. We will
always let you know if your submitted design for tooling
will encounter machining problems and recommend a
more suitable alternative. We are not in a hurry to
get you off the phone. Talking to clients is actually
one of the more enjoyable parts of our day. Go ahead,
bend our ears.

Responsiveness

As
you can see we rank responsiveness as #2 in our list.
Nothing
can be more frustrating than leaving a message for someone
to call you back,
only to never have that call returned. Promptly returning
calls and messages is one of our highest priorities.
We
also go to extremes to get your tooling order completed
in expedient fashion. Blazing
fast 2-day turnaround
oncustom
moulding knives is the norm.

Template Services is one of the few
companies that will actually stop taking on "new
clients" from time to time in our custom tooling
services. We do this to keep our lead times in check.
If you are an existing customer, we will always try
to service your account in the same timely manner. Even
if we are not taking new accounts, existing clients
will always be serviced promptly. How can you schedule
your business commitments if you never know if it will
take 2 days to get your moulder knives & tooling
or 3 weeks?

#3
Quality

Okay,
finally we get to quality. The first step in quality
is obtaining the correct information by using
good communication. High
quality tooling and moulder knivesstarts with choosing the right tooling
system for the job. High speed steel knives can
be very cost effective and produce excellent results
on many hard and softwoods, while carbide moulding
knives are perfect for some difficult to machine
hardwoods and composite materials. There are disposable
carbide insert knives, dedicated heads, multi-profile
heads, corrugated knife inserts, all with different
grades of wear, performance, and durability. Let
us help you match your application with the most
cost effective way of achieving superior results.
A big aspect of "quality" is choosing
the right tool for the job. At Template Services,
we use the best quality materials to make our
moulding blades and cutters. Before machining
a pattern into
cutters, you have
to start with a basis of quality. We do this by
using precision material, finely tuned grinding
machinery, grinding fixtures that are checked
and maintained for wear, trueness, and setting.
Add to that years of experience and training by
the person operating these machines and you wind
up with "quality".

#4
Trustworthiness

This
one is actually pretty short. You do what you
say you will do, over and over again. That's it,
end of story!

#5
Value

We
help to achieve value by using the best tooling
system for the job. There are a myriad of companies,
products and prices out there. The most expensive
tool is not always the best. Some product lines
out there are just plain expensive and don't offer
a substantial advantage that justify the cost.
Some cheap tooling may actually wind up costing
you more by having to purchase the tool more than
once and by having poor performance. Cheap tooling
can also damage machinery. Knowing the difference
in the brands versus cost and performance is critical
in making your tooling choices. Your wood product
has to be competitive in the business market.
By consulting on using the best machinery, production
methods, lumber, manpower, & tooling we can
be confident of "value".

6 Delivery

Okay
all this talk so far is great, but what is it
worth. Like I tell my son "talk plus $0.50"
will buy you a cup of coffee. At the end of the
day, it's the work that actually gets delivered
is what counts. Excuses don't pay bills. We know
in order for you to deliver your product correctly,
we must deliver correctly to you. We keep rock
solid deadlines that you can count on.

Well
this completes my long-winded account of our
mission statement. Id love to hear your thoughts
on these last paragraphs.
